3.0 out of 5 stars It's Brilliant! It's Absurd! Dec 4 2000
By Paul Epps
Format:Mass Market Paperback
How can a book that starts out so brilliantly collapse so completely halfway through? That's when the title character, The Needle, a WWII German spy who has thus far thwarted the best efforts of several nations to stop him, is forced into a showdown with -- get this -- a beautiful young Englishwoman. And of course the fate of the free world hangs in the balance, etc., etc.

Now in any sort of plausible universe, our hero would dispatch this broad faster than you could say "Heil Hitler." So why are there still 150 pages left in the book? Let me just say this: Prepare to have your patience and credulity stretched to really painful dimensions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hitler relies on The Needle Aug 19 2010
By bernie TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Hitler must ultimately decide what threats are real and when. He relies on the one man he knows can accomplish the task of finding out the truth. So he sends to England "The Needle" a deep cover spy who is so confident that he does not let the intermediate folk get in his way. Any that do do not live to tell about it.

First, they have to believe that he actually exists. Then they have to find him. It they can find him, can they stop him?

Yes, the story is intriguing. Yet it is the people interaction (loyalty, love, and credibility) and the attitude of "The Needle" that make the story. Ultimately, the question is "Will he succeed and what effect will this have on future generations of those who knew him?"

3.0 out of 5 stars A Good Read
This book is a good read but in my opinion isn't even close to ranking as high on my must read list as "Pillars of The Earth" and "World Without End".
